How to watch USC vs. Wisconsin: Broadcast info, forecast, game notes, more

Saturday, the USC football program will host a Big Ten Conference game for ths first time when Wisconsin comes to town. But the Trojans aren't going to be concerned with making history as much as they will be with getting back on the winning track after falling to Michigan 27-24 last week.

The Badgers come to L.A. after a week off during which they've broken in new starting QB Bradeyn Locke who takes over for the injured Tyler Van Dyke.

The redshirt sophomore enters the game with just three career starts to his name. Of course, USC QB Miller Moss has only four career starts on his resume. However, Moss has been far more impressive in his time on the field.

Many think this will be a get-right game for the Trojans. Wisconsin's wins this year have come over Western Michigan and South Dakota and they were both only 14-point margins.

Though most believe that this game will be a USC blowout, there will be plenty of Trojan fans tuning in to see the first-ever Big Ten game at the Coliseum. So let's take a look at everything fans need to know for this weekend's contest.
